Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
10 of 20 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.36 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 28 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.43 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 605 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 28.6, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 12.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
